The Farmers Institute.

The coming Farmers Institute to
be held in this city on Tuesday and
Wednesday. Nov. sth and eth, bids
fair to be a profitable occasion, and no
farmer can afford to let it pass with
out honoring it with his presence and
hearty support. Several prominent
farmers, stockmen, cheese and butter
makers from abroad Will be present.
aided by men of our own locality.
The order of exercises, found in an
other column of this paper, is well
worth the careful perusal by any who
doubt the real value of the Institute.
At time when staple products of the
soil are falling us, as they have in a
great measure for the last few years,
it is surely to the interest of every
farmer to know what is the next best
thing to raise and, also, to know in
what way the largest profit may be re-
allied. 1t is evident that the past In
stitutes which have been held have
awakened a new interest, and that the
coming meetings VIII be more system
atically conducted, ana therefore more
profitable. 1t is important that there
shall be a general attendance at these
meetings, that the interest in them
may be sufficiently manifest to war
rant the management in granting us
the favor of an appointment in the
future.

prize he sought. May the happy pair

Halloween.


ut evident that somebody has lost
a head" remarked one of our clergy
men as he brought in a large cabbage
that had been slammed against the
parsonage door as a reminder of Hal
loween. How many of our citizens
received this friendly greeting is not
known, but the above occurrence is
proof positive that little nonsense
now and then is relished by the best
of boys and girls as well as men. 1t
would be a tame sort of an urchin WHO
never did anything out of the ordin-
airy way for recreation or amusement.
Young life must have some outlet,
and all good citizens will bear with
patient good will whatever harmless
pranks our youth may see fit to play,
but it might be well just to hint to
the juvenile pleasure seeker that there
are some mischievous deeds that are
really acts of lawlessness. Carrying
off gates, tearing up sidewalks, and
the like, for fun, are not right things
to do; so we would say to our boys
and girls while keeping us in mind of
olden times by your roguish pranks do
not 60 beyond reasonable limit and
do what is wrong. You may not be
discovered in such an act, but it is
never good thing to start wrong in
life, even in fun. Have your sport;
let it be exciting; wake us up in what
way you will if we grow prosy and
forget that We were once young, but
in all your acts remember and observe
the golden rule;" then you will have
nothing to regret and others will have
no cause to complain of you.
